When I first got ill my folks took me from the city I loved and had me move in with them in the country. They soon had enough of me and don’t even answer my phone calls. This is true of my siblings as well.
I have no one.
Tried phoning my folks as I am painfully lonely. It was clear I wanted a chat. My mum couldn’t wait to get off the phone. 14 seconds. That was as much time she gave me. Don’t know how much of this ■■■■ I can take.
I’m sorry your family treats you like this.
I mention to them parents should care for their children from cradle to grave. They tell me to ■■■■ off.
Sucks when the one’s you’re counting on let you down… I sometimes feel let down by my parents when I think of the times they have asked what I was experiencing, which is never. They do care, but live by the maxim ‘best not to talk about it, then it probably isn’t there either’, or so it has seemed with all difficult matters since I was young. Doesn’;t compare to what you’re telling though…
If you need to chat I’ll be on for a while… Didn’t you meet this older fellow at a pub a while back or am I confused? Still see him?
No! You don’t have to put up with that behavior. Even if you might not have friends IRL, you have us here. Better than nothing. We care.
I have no contact with my dad for several resons. You don’t need people dragging you down or pushing you away. Even if it is family. It’s their loss. They will regret it when they are old and dying. But they pushed you away. You did not.
Cheers @flybottle and @Comatose.
Feeling really down about life. Feeling desperate.
Hang in there. It feels terrible to be rejected.
Will you be watching the game in a bit to take your mind off of things?
Hey. Feeling a little better now.
Yeah got the game on. A bit of escapism for a couple of hours. Funnily enough the last time I felt this bad was during the World Cup. Maybe I am allergic to international football!
Trust me, you wouldn’t want your country (Netherlands in my case) to miss out on it though!
Better to live without resentment. Catch it when is comes up and look at what it is doing to you. Ditto to Comatose too.
I’m glad you are feeling better.
I had a really rough time when I “broke up” with my dad. He blamed me for everything and said our crappy relationship is my fault. (I was a teenager) So I broke up with him completely. If he does not want me…why should I chase him?
I know the feeling. But I’m glad you’re feeling better. Keep fighting the fight jimbob.
I’m so sorry James, hope you’re feeling better today
Thanks minmins.
Yeah feeling a bit better. But I don’t think my family will ever understand. This I can live with - just wish they made more of an effort.
I get that. Hopefully you can grow past that, even if painful. So sorry really
